Gray Kitchens Cabinets

 

    Good Day fine friends!   A friend  in Napa Valley is renovating her kitchen and asked if I could post on  gray kitchens.  In doing the research I found that gray is quite  chic and elegant in  a new kitchen.  White as an accent creates  clean and sharp appearances.  Stainless steel appliances work well .  The use of marble countertops picks up the gray veins and is a good choice.   The look can be modern or country.   Enjoy the selection.

Butlers Pantry Design


Hello Hollywood Friends!  In Kitchen and Bath design I  love to recommend to my clients to plan an area for a butlers pantry. Whether the area is large or small .  It makes for a cozy place to have your coffee,juice, refreshments and also entertain in style.  You can create your own pantry area in a 3ft space or a 6ft, the cabinets can include a wine cooler ice maker,  and  one or two cabinets designed with solid or glass wall cabinets.   If you need help in your design, write to me and I will send you an sketch!  Have a great weekend! Ciao!

Hey great friends! October 22nd , East coast people can feel the chill in the air! Time for a bedroom makeover? Thinking about a change for your favorite cozy spot,  try new bedding, carpeting, pretty accents, add an end table or bench,  some pillows. How about a woven throw?  It's the perfect time of year to decorate the bedroom for the cozy winter that is ahead of us.

Window Seating-Banquettes



Hello October loves!   Window seating is a creative solution to make corner areas  in your home, warm cozy and inviting.  The options are endless and the units can be used as storage as well as a comfy corner to read and relax.  Kitchen Banquets  fill areas where there is a small or large space with seating cabinets and cushions.  The built- in units are low cabinets either with draw space or open areas for baskets . To finish a base molding gives a finished appearance.

Have a great day!
